How to Know WHEN and HOW to Upgrade Your Deck?
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
It's not necessarily about making it smarter faster better stronger. It can be about morphing a deck to do its job better, especially in the context of your own meta. So check out this week's episode where we break down why you would upgrade your deck, or in some cases never upgrade it ever again.

A Deck That Only Has Nine Cards In It?!
Wednesday Mar 16, 2022
Wednesday Mar 16, 2022
Bruce's lesson this week involves some time-honored wisdom of how to build the foundation of ANY deck! And it's as easy as putting four copies of each card in your deck!
Very cool.

These Sorceries are Sure to Make Your Opponents GREEN with Envy - Temple’s Treasures
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
Last season, we finished the color pie for underplayed Enchantments, so now we move onto SORCERIES! Starting with Green and following the following rules, we talk about some cards we found stuck between the couch cushions:
1. First Printing must have been prior to 8th Edition
2. Must be in under 2000 decks on EDHRec
That's it, babbeeeyyyy! Enjoy these sweet cards! Buy your singles at: yourfavoritecardstore.com/falsepod or at your Local Game Store! I'm sure they'd love to know why you're looking for these random Green Sorceries. Tell them we sent you.

What’s The Big Idea?! (and Where Did It Come From?)
Wednesday Mar 02, 2022
Wednesday Mar 02, 2022
In this episode: Bruce and Andy discuss concepts. These concepts relate to the ideas behind decks, whether it's their purposes, how to build to that purpose, and what to look for when becoming inspired.
So grab a pen and paper (or in Bruce's case, the notepad app), and let's talk about deck ideas and where they come from. (and also apparently stinky gas?)

Oh Heck. Bruce's cats/rats 60-card deck is too precious to not share with everyone. This deck is wild and has such great character. So we're bringing it to you!

Do You Understand The Importance of a GOOD Land-base?

Wednesday Feb 16, 2022
Back at it again; we got Bruce talking about lands! Andy has some questions though. How can we do lands better without breaking the bank? How can we do lands better and more fun? The answer may not surprise you. It's basics. Listen up, folks. It's a fun one. Let's get funky with some lands.

How Multiplayer Limited Formats Can Affect the Way You See Commander

Wednesday Feb 09, 2022
We're back for season 6! And in honor of that, we're focusing on things we love about casual Magic that don't necessarily relate to everyone's favorite 100 card singleton format! (but we will instinctively always bring it back to the big lug)
This week we talk about everything from Conspiracy to Conspiracy 2! and obviously Commander Legends and Battlebond. It's an excited episode that you won't want to miss!
